Trust registration in India - An overview
Public Trust is the most convenient way of starting a non-governmental organization or NGO. A trust functions on the objective of eradicating poverty, providing education to the underprivileged and offering medical relief apart from the generalized aim of promoting arts, science and literature. It is to be noted that trusts are irrevocable which means they cannot be amended or terminated without the permission of the court. Registerkaro helps in providing you with the trust registration certificate with a few documents like a deed of trust, rental agreement, etc.
In India, there are no specific laws to govern the public trust, however, some states like Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu have their own public trust Act.
Online Trust registration - A detailed process
Registerkaro helps you in providing with the trust registration online through very simple steps. As an initial step in registering the trust, the founder of the trust or the “Author of the Trust” or the “Settlor of the Trust” has to figure out in a document the objectives of the trust and the manner in which the trustees have to work towards achieving the goals of the Trust. This document that contains all such details is called a Trust Deed, which is also called a deed of trust.
Once this is made, thereafter, an application for registration of the trust shall be moved before the Registrar of Trust along with the Trust Deed or a deed of trust. The appropriate jurisdiction for registration of the trust is usually where the registered office of the trust is located.
